Absolutely ! Eastbound is the killer.
I have sincere admiration for those people that land in Europe early in the morning, go straight to work and are still intellegent and amusing at dinnertime. I just know I will never be one of them. Actually its getting harder with age.
However, Dallas is 7 hours different from Central Europe and it doesn't really take 7 days. It does take me 3 to be at full tilt (well, full tilt for me) though.
